[1]NNU - Medicare for All!



A requirement that states keep people on Medicaid during the pandemic has
come to an end, and 15 million people could lose their coverage as a
result.

The federal government estimates that of the 15 million people who will
lose coverage in the coming months, nearly 7 million of those are still
eligible. In addition, nearly half of those who lose coverage will be
Black or Hispanic.^1

Protections Expire

In part because of this policy, the nation’s uninsured rate reached a
record low early last year. Now it will be reversed. 

Health care is not something that can or should expire. It is needed by
everyone (pandemic or not), and it must be guaranteed to all as a human
right. Under Medicare for All, we would never see 15 million people at
risk of suddenly losing their health care. 

This is a key opportunity to organize and remind our legislators of the
only real solution to our broken health care system: Medicare for All. We
expect new Medicare for All legislation to be introduced into Congress
soon, and we need to be ready.

The current fragility, instability, insecurity, and fragmentation of our
health care system is unacceptable. 

The coverage provided by this policy amounted to an extraordinary reprieve
for patients, preserving health insurance for millions of vulnerable
people and sparing them the hassles of regularly jumping through
administrative hoops.

We could maximize these benefits 100 fold through a guaranteed
single-payer health care system — saving money, people's lives, and the
constant hassle and stress. 

When the time comes, we’ll need your help to make sure that your members
of Congress sign on (or back on) as cosponsors of Medicare for All, and
we’ll need your help to make sure that the reintroductions are as visible
and powerful as possible.

take — but for now, please
sign this interest
form.

In solidarity,

Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
